Departure Time Has Arrived

May 23rd or 24th is when I leave but I will not be making any more posts to this blog until the end of July or later when I see my Teachers at the Zuni Stupa.

No, I didn't get all I had hoped for: not enough for good hiking shoes and not enough for a return trip: no worries, I can still beg in other areas barefoot if it comes to that :)  

If you want to make a gift to support this practice while I'm offline, I will definitely, respond when I return to a place with Internet access.

Thank You Ogden, Utah!!!

Thank You Salt Lake City, Utah!!!

Thank You Barbara!!!

Some of you gave when you had so little, some of you gave when you had already given to others, and some of you gave just because  -I will not waste a moment of mountain time!

 

 

 

I run across many people in begging to support my practice. One brave woman invited me into her house and asked to use a machine which measures Chi (bio electric energy). I consented but on the condition that we do a before and after test.
"Before" I had biked 7.5 miles, walked 1 mile, and knocked on many doors without result.
"After" I did 7 rolling breathes and two Vajrasattva repetitions WHICH TOOK LESS THAN 2 MINUTES!!!!

This is proof to my family, friends and world that these practices have direct and real effect.

To my family: "Now you know why I won't give up on studying this information" and "Please continue to be patient with me tho you can't see the results so easily".

Here are the teachers, listed in chronological order, who gave me the techniques, loving kindness and other blessings in order to be able to do this:

Michael Phillips
Mike Bingo
Bing Lee
Kay Star Kutch
Padmasambhava
Bhaka Tulku Rinpoche
Tulku Orgyen Phunstock Rinpoche
Lama Urgyen
Khenpo Tenkyong
Lama Thendup
Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche
Lama Lodro Lhamo

 AFTER:

To those who aren't familiar with these types of practices, please realize the ability to do this takes every day practice of a very accurate and precise type.

Weather permitting, I'll continue fund raising until the 23rd of May.

The reason for continued fund raising is because I still need a good pair of hard core hiking shoes, socks, and funds to return to a large city for my fall fund raising session (not to mention funds to replenish food in the five gallon buckets).

     If you want to see the food and items I've purchased with donations, click on the link "How Donations Were Spent" on the right side bar.

     As of today, I've loaded two 5 gallon buckets with beans, rice, and rolled oats. I've also prepared the contents of my pack with the exception of clothes, coat, and a wool blanket.   ...the mountains await me and I them  :)
